Well. lets begin with what is alien smuggling. Alien smuggling is the process whereby people often known as coyotes" take someone from a country like Mexico and sneak them in. often under the cover of darkness. into the United States for an average fee currently of approximately $1.500 per person. It requires specialized skills. and folks often feel that they cant come over. say. from Mexico to California and bypass all the border security agents without having a coyote or alien smuggler to help them. So they often have their family members pay the $1.500 fee. I wanted to know more about this. so 1 personally went to the San DiegoMexico border and spent a week traveling around at 2. 3 in the morning with Border Patrol agents as they arrested illegals and alien smugglers as they came across the border. And I learned from the Border Patrol agents that their biggest frustration is that they have arrested the same alien smugglers more than 20 times. In fact. the agents I met with were so demoralized they had whats called a wall of shame. And its hard to see from where you sit.
